That’s cool, but seems kind of pointless, considering you can be easily reasonably deanonymized if your relatives take a DNA test. It doesn’t address the main issue of your genetic information being used commercially.
I’ve had bots scouting for such a thing for a couple of years. So far, we haven’t found any that aren’t way sketchy. Your best bet might be to social engineer the folks at a cellular biology lab at a big college or something, get them to sequence your DNA, and have them copy the data onto a flash drive or something. Then the trick is finding somebody who can analyze the data and make sense of it all.
I always wanted to check out my genome, but never did so because of shady companies like this.
Is there any genome sequencing service for consumers that actually respects your privacy? Especially for full genome sequencing.

This site walks you through how to take a DNA test anonymously. That’s as close as I’m aware of that you can get to privacy.

I think the safest bet would be to get a PhD in medical genetics and manually go through your data base pair by base pair
Same. I’d love to know any privacy-respecting companies…that is, if they even exist.
Well, Swiss has some companies and strict laws to handling of health data (including DNA). But i dunno if you can just send your sample via package.
Yeah, I imagine the USPS would would have some concerns about transporting biological samples across international borders. Lol.
